Congrats on achieving Days
280 today. … The serenity prayer helps me get through those moments where I need a little boost in acceptance. As I get clearer I realized the way I have dealt with people in the past isn’t the best way. Accepting and making amends helps…
Amazing - 200 days you are always a source of light and inspiration.
I really appreciate your support. I know I can’t do this alone.
You dont do this alone,
I tried many times to quit my vices, alone. It led me back to the path of destruction.
Thank you. It already feels different just being here.
Thank you so much for your support.
200 days! Well done M!!
Wowza!! Congrats on being committed!
- Down 15 pounds. Changed up how I eat, walking every day. Even found a way to work in squats while I work. I am up to 120 squats a day. Plus a 30 minute work out with Ms. Monkey after work. I feel better!
Constantly realizing new things on this journey. Right now, I’m beginning to see a pattern that’s been happening for at least a year. Every two months, I go into these depressive, angry lows. It usually involved me turning toward sexual promiscuity and big drinking binges until I scared myself. Then the low would end and I would carry on with my “normal” life and drinking habits. At this exact moment, I’m in the middle of one of these lows. The last low resulted in me walking away from alcohol forever. So how do I get through this now?
Obviously the answer is without alcohol, but I’m so sad, angry, frustrated, and there are some really stupid thoughts floating around in my head about running away from everything, disappearing, etc. Some days this life just feels so hopeless. 56 days. Tired, feeling empty, but alcohol free and it will stay that way.
Spending my Saturday in an anger management class. Hoping to learn some new tools, but also glad to just get this completed and officially have my charge dismissed.
Look at that sunshine! Thanks for posting this am, I lterally just wrote this in my journal. 20210116_081104|690x256
Thank you. I have learned the hard way… I’m kinda stubborn. Haha
I missed your 1,000 day post! I’m sorry congratulations on quadruple D’s. That’s amazing. Well done Lea!
Thank you for your support
I am way early in my journey so me dishing out advice feels like a bull in a china shop, out of its element and making a total mess.
One: 56 days is a big accomplishment. So pause and realize that. Second: beside us, do you have a support group/person to talk to? There is no way in hell that you are the only one feeling like this and from what I can gather from being here 12 days, seeking help is the best thing you can do right now. There is no reason you need to ride this wave alone and no reason you need to break your commitment that you set 56 days ago.
Reality is you will feel like double shit if you do, and I personally am avoiding that situatuon at all cost, I am so damn tired of feeling like a piece of shit. I am going to bet you are too.
Your profile mentions you are a husband, so in that sense you may “think” she (assuming she so sorry if wrong) has no idea that you are riding these waves every few months, however; history proves that’s just stupid and she sees it. Maybe let her be that support through this wave? Tell her what’s going on in that beautiful head of yours? Or if not, consider seeking help…you deserve it my friend.
The 200 club! Awesome job Emm!
Congratulations on 6 months! Awesome job
